We did this private guided tour of the archaeological museum and it was amazing. Instead of just browsing cases, the guide brought the stories behind the artefacts to life and suddenly the statues, pottery and treasures made sense and felt connected to real people and history. We learned so much more than we would have on our own and it honestly made the museum one of the highlights of our Athens trip.
